Hondata is the world leader in tuning Honda  engines and have many world records to prove this. Every map listed here has been comprehensively tuned for fuel, ignition and boost.

Listed here are dyno plots of several of the many base maps provided with the FlashPro. 

How the FlashPro will perform on a stock Civic 1.5 Turbo? The answer is superbly!

With a 100% stock 1.5 Civic Turbo you will benefit from:

• Improved turbo spool
• Raised boost limits
• Better throttle response
• Better mid range power and torque
• Removed speed limit
• No change in part throttle fuel economy
• World Class Datalogging - which will teach you a lot about your engine.

Base maps:

These are examples of the base maps provided with the FlashPro. The lower curves are done with the specified 87 octane on a stock 1.5 turbo Civic. The higher power curves are with California 91 octane and the FlashPro base maps.  With higher octane fuel and more boost, extra power and torque is easily achived. Maps for cold air and short ram intakes are also included.

Civic CVT high octane plus 6 psi more boost.

    +25 HP and 35 lb-ft torque

Civic CVT high octane plus 3 psi more boost.

    +15 HP and 14 lb-ft torque

You now have the power to beat a Civic Si with your CVT or MT Civic. What are you waiting for? Buy now.

FlashPro Introduction

Hondata's new generation programming tool for the 06 - 09 US Civic Si, the Japanese 06-09 Civic Type R and the European 07-09 Civic Type R. A brief introduction.

FlashPro getting started

This video covers the installation the FlashPro Manager software, the USB drivers, software registration and upload of a calibration.

Live Tuning

One of the latest features added to FlashPro, live tuning gives you the ability to tune your Honda or Acura on the fly without switching off the engine. Live tuning simplifies part throttle tuning and significantly reduces the time and cost of tuning your car.

Race Calibration

Hondata has developed a Race calibration which allows you to tune with the MAP sensor and bypass the limitations of the AFM sensor. A look at the tuning principles for forced induction on a modern return-less fuel system.

Datalogging and Air fuel ratios

A look a the extensive datalogging capabilities of the FlashPro and the many ways in which to examine your engine data. We touch on the datalogging of the air fuel ratios and how you can use it to adjust your tuning.

The FlashPro uses software called FlashProManager for tuning & datalogging.

How do I tell if my FlashPro supports Bluetooth?

From July 2013 some FlashPros shipped from Hondata including Bluetooth.

From Jan 1 2014, all FlashPros shipped from Hondata include Bluetooth.

FlashPros sold before the dates in the table below do not support Bluetooth. To confirm if your FlashPro supports Bluetooth follow this procedure:

• Launch FlashPro Manager
• Plug in the FlashPro to your USB port.
• Press the FlashPro button, tab, then hardware.
• If Bluetooth is present, Yes will be indicated.
• If you do not see 'Bluetooth present' at all, then you are using an older version of FlashProManager and need to update.  This does not mean that you don't have a FlashPro with a Bluetooth radio.
• If 'Bluetooth present' is No, your FlashPro does not have Bluetooth. You may upgrade your FlashPro is you wish.

Civic X FlashPro owner feedback

DC2Turbo 

Yup definitely one of the best mods you can get right now. Forget the intake, exhaust, bov or whatever rice stuff. This is the best bang for your buck for power.

FlashPro at 20-21psi i can get 5.7-6 seconds 0-60

Still getting 30-47mpg on the highway depending how many hills I got to climb

Syntec:

What won me over initially was throttle response and how much more torque the car had. The moment when my foot went to the floor on the gas, the first thought was, "Oh shit!" and honestly was surprised it was the same car I have except properly tuned. (Hellooooo wheel-slip  ).

Silverghost

Oh yea it hauls some ass for sure.

SilverDyme

It's like night and day.

teebee288

Let me tell one thing...it pulls HARD on the street wow!

dallasjhawk

The car sits you back in your seat and the traction control kicks in under full throttle bc the tires will break loose as max boost hits. Maybe its the cool weather helping it lose traction but it doesnt do that on the stock tune. And it feels effortless for this car to pass at freeway speeds when giving it some gas pedal.

sarknatron

The quickest 0-60 time I've been able to pull using the torque app was a 6.3... I feel a huge difference between stock and using the flashpro.. It pushes you back in your seat

CEXT

There's a dramatic difference in acceleration. 40-90mph took about 7.4 seconds (flat road), compared to 10 seconds stock.

Stevo

Just got my FlashPro and loaded a basemap 6 PSI boost with Injen CAI. Wow, feels like a different car. Big gains!

joel1188

I have put it on my Malaysian 1.5T Civic and managed to achieve a new top speed (of 268 kph) on the dyno. no more getting stuck at 207km/h on the highways anymore.

What is a CARB FlashPro?
A CARB FlashPro is a FlashPro which only allows uploads from calibrations which are determined to not alter the any emissions related parameters in the ECU.

What does CARB stand for?
Not carburetor.  'CARB' is the common term for the California Air Resources Board, who are responsible for determining if calibrations could affect emissions.

Why should I use the CARB FlashPro?
Within the USA you must use the CARB FlashPro for any emissions controlled vehicle.

But I don't live in California / my state does not do emissions tests.
It does not matter - the concept of '49 state legal' is not longer valid.  Under the federal Clean Air Act administered by the EPA it is not legal to change any emissions equipment (including the ECU) on any emissions controlled vehicle.  There is no mechanism to prove to the EPA that an ECU modification does not affect emissions, but the EPA will accept the California Air Resources Board approval. Hence California legal modifications are also federally legal.

What if I sell by vehicle and wish to use the FlashPro on a competition vehicle?
The CARB FlashPro cannot be changed into a Race FlashPro.  Sell the CARB FlashPro and purchase a Race FlashPro.

Will this work on more than one vehicle?
The FlashPro is locked to one vehicle. It can be unlocked and transferred to another vehicle by returning the ECU to stock.

Do I need the laptop in the vehicle to reflash the ECU?
No. The FlashPro can upload either with or without a laptop.

Will dealers need a software license?

No. Every FlashPro will come with the full tuning software FlashProManager.

Do I need to send my ECU to Hondata?
No. Your ECU does not need to be modified for FlashPro.

I am considering purchasing a used FlashPro. What do I need to do to check?
The FlashPro must be unlocked by the seller. Have the seller send you this screenshot which shows the serial number password and lock status. Hondata does not unlock FlashPros. The reason for this policy is to prevent both fraud (against us) and theft (against you).
